All Faro Tours & Excursions in 2026

Excellent experience from start to finish from Andrea and her sister, Liliana. We travelled from Albufeira to do the tour and it didn’t disappoint. It was great to hear Andrea speak so passionately about what they do at the factory. Even for a self confessed foodie, I still learned a lot. After the tour we tasted various types of olives, olive oils, cheese, charcuterie, honey, jam and marmalade. All washed down with delicious rosé wine. We also tasted Andrea’s homemade lemonade and some red and white wines. Everything was amazing! We weren’t rushed at all and were shown such incredible hospitality. I could have stayed there all evening! I honestly can’t recommend this enough. If you’re in Tavira, this tour is a must.

The boat was very nice and it was a small group of 12 people. I went in the 15:45 which was great because we got to watch sunset on the way back to the port. Loved visiting the 3 islands. Each one was different and had interesting vibes. Also plenty of opportunities to swim. Claudio and Sergio were our captains and guides. They were very fun, had a wealth of knowledge and made us feel very safe.

It was a wonderful boat ride to the islands. Diogo was very nice and polite. He talked a little bit about fiddler crabs, sea horses and some of the birds and the ecosystem around the islands. It was not an in depth discussion but that was okay for us. The Deserta Island was wonderful. We were able to swim/walk to one of the other islands. My 13 year old loved that. We got some ice cream and walked around Farol Island. For us we would have enjoyed spending more time at Deserta Island and less time at Farol Island. Overall it was a lovely trip.

I booked this trip through Viator, my daughter & I wanted to explore some of the countryside in the evening. 🇵🇹☀️. We met our driver close to our hotel which was excellent !✨He was very friendly & funny from start to end! He gave us lots of information along the way!✨ The Algarve is beautiful! We passed through a few villages, and our first stop was at a farm. We got to see peacocks, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, a pig & horse! 🦚🦆🐓🐐🐖🐴 We also got to taste honey, jams & ‘fire water’. So many drops are growing on this farm, it was really lovely. 🌱🌳🌶️ Our second stop was at a ‘custard pie factory’, but due to the time of our trip they’d sold out! 🤩 We had lemon meringue pie & cake which was so good.🍰🍥 Our next stop was at the ‘“Queda de agua do vigario” waterfall! 🌱💦 There are many steps down, but so worth it! Beautiful. Finally we went up into the mountains to watch the sun set at Messines. 🌅 Here you have 360 degrees view of the surrounding countryside! The sunset spot itself is beautiful! I definitely recommend you go on this trip, it’s super good value for money & I feel you get to see the ‘real’ Portugal, a must see! ❤️🇵🇹

A great day visiting parts of the huge Rio de Formosa. Comfortable boat - most seats shaded. Be prepared to cop a bit of spray at times. Our guide, Joao, was a great skipper and had a good sense of humour. He provided a lot of information, made a point of interacting with all passengers early in the trip, and was happy to answer questions. Sunhat a must have for shore walking - lots of glare and heat and no trees. Plenty of options for lunch. Thank you, Joao.

Sebastian was a great tour guide, friendly, funny and very considerate of the range of ability in our group. Had a great time walking and being able to see the caves from above, he answered all our questions, helped us with photos and even suggested how we could come back with transport to do the walk/trail. The boat tour was quick but had some lovely views and just such an awesome experience. After we finished with some free time near the beach, the cafe had some great food and wine, food was fresh and staff were very friendly. My aunts went down to the beach (i was hungry) but they enjoyed the beach and still had enough time to get some food after!

Such a fun and interesting experience, thanks to Carla, we explored so much of Algarvian history and culture, visiting a moorish castle, Roman bridges, rural towns, experiencing Portuguese life both past and present. We got to see and learn so much more than we anticipated. Definitely recommend if you like a rich cultural experience from rural towns, orange farms and more 😊

We enjoy birdwatching, and this was top notch! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided information about the birds, habitats, and behaviors to help with identification and made a specific effort to find as many as possible--21 species the day of our trip. Also discussed the history and interesting trivia about the nature preserve and the local area.
